Q10. The magnitude of K is critical for O, to be pass first from lungs into red blood cells and then
subsequently into the tissues. If K was either much smaller or much larger, then the system would
not work. Now consider why not:
(a) If K was very small, would the equilibrium favour reactants or products in the above reaction?
How would that affect the proportion of oxygenated HbO (aq) to deoxygenated Hb(aq) in blood
leaving the lungs?
ANSWER:
If K was very small, then the equilibrium favours towards the reactant. This implies that the
proposition of oxygenated HbO₂ (aq) to deoxygenated Hb (aq) in blood leaving the lungs would be
lower. This will lead to the blood to contain more haemoglobin.
Now consider the equilibrium once the blood vessels have reached the tissues of the body that rely
on diffusion of oxygen, O.(aq), from the bloodstream.
Hb(aq) + O₂(aq) = HbO₂(aq)
K =
[HbO₂ (aq)]
[Hb(aq)]X[0₂(aq)]
Q10(b) If K was very large, how would that affect the amount of O₂(aq) available to pass from
blood into the tissues? (biat: Consider whether the forward or reverse reaction is required now)
ANSWER:
If the K was very large, the amount of oxygen will pass forward (more product will form) from
blood into the tissues with the affect that there would be a higher amount of oxygenated HbO₂ (aq)
in the blood than in the tissue. This will help the in the transmission of oxygen from the bloods into
the tissues due to the high PO₂ in the blood.
